Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to external user interfaces used in connection with head worn computers (HWC).
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- displaying a line in a mixed reality environment, the mixed reality environment visible to a user of a wearable device via a display of the wearable device;
- tracking a motion of a finger of the user relative to the line, wherein said tracking comprises:
- receiving, via a sensor, a signal indicative of the motion of the finger of the user relative to the line;
- and
- obtaining images of the motion of the finger;
- determining, based on the signal, a first relative motion between the finger and the line;
- determining, based on the images, a second relative motion between the finger and the line;
- and
- determining an input sequence corresponding to one or more input strokes of the user, wherein:
- the input sequence is determined based on a comparison of the first relative motion and the second relative motion,
- the comparison indicates a movement of the line relative to the motion of the finger, and
- the determining the input sequence based on the comparison comprises compensating for the movement of the line relative to the motion of the finger.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
- displaying a line in a mixed reality environment, the mixed reality environment visible to a user of a wearable device via a display of the wearable device;
- tracking a motion of a finger of the user relative to the line, wherein said tracking comprises:
- receiving, via a sensor, a signal indicative of the motion of the finger of the user relative to the line;
- and
- obtaining images of the motion of the finger;
- determining, based on the signal, a first relative motion between the finger and the line;
- determining, based on the images, a second relative motion between the finger and the line;
- and
- determining an input sequence corresponding to one or more input strokes of the user, wherein:
- the input sequence is determined based on a comparison of the first relative motion and the second relative motion,
- the comparison indicates a movement of the line relative to the motion of the finger, and
- the determining the input sequence based on the comparison comprises compensating for the movement of the line relative to the motion of the finger.
